Jerry Brown

At the moment it looks like California is about to take a major step backwards and put Jerry Brown back in the Governor's seat.

His opponent, Meg Whitman, has been weak, but, that's another issue.

How can Californians want to have the same guy that so cold heartedly supported the loss of homes by Californians across the state as he opposed Prop 13?

How could Californians want to have the same guy that enabled state employees to unionize by signing into law their ability to engage in collective bargaining? We are still paying for that mistake and we will continue to pay for it for generations to come.

How could Californians want to have the same guy that appointed Rose Bird to the California Supreme Court? (The first California appellate judge in California history to be denied reconfirmation by voters due to her rabid anti-death penalty stance.)

What does he want to do now?

Well, while he was the Attorney General he utterly failed to investigate his friends on the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as they purposely used known bad data to come up with new, restrictive regulations that have already cost California thousands of jobs.

Now, he wants to go all in and demand that California fully implement all of the CARB recommendations and regulations that he claims will create a new green economy in California under the direction of the unaccountable CARB and their AB 32, The Global Warming Final Solutions Act.

Nevermind the Fact that man made global climate change is a tragic hoax. AB 32 and the CARB will cost California jobs. Hundreds of thousands of jobs. At least one study is predicting the loss of 1.3 million jobs in California due to AB 32 over the next ten years. (500,000 of those in the next two years.)

We are already enduring an unemployment rate of over 12% in California. Are we really willing to endure the death of the dreams of so many Californians?

No jobs = No California worth living in.

Jerry Brown claims that we will replace all those intentionally lost jobs with new, green jobs.

We're going to replace 1.3 million lost jobs with green jobs in ten years? It's a sad fantasy without basis in reality.

Spain already tried forcing the market to create "green" jobs.

They spent tens of thousands of dollars for every green job they "created" and for every one of those green jobs they Lost 2.2 regular jobs.

Even worse, most of those new green jobs were not permanent jobs.

The government cannot effectively create or manage an economy.

Any product, job, or service that requires a government subsidy to survive is not viable.

All the government can do is get the heck out of the way and let the free market do its thing.

Does Jerry Brown agree that we should all have the right to self determination and that the government should keep its grubby paws out of the way?

No.

Jerry Brown as the next Governor of California is a calamity in the making.
